Death and Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) assist cover

With Sunsuper, you can protect your earning capacity and your family's lifestyle. We have a range of competitive insurance options that will help protect you if something unfortunate were to happen.

Automatic cover

Sunsuper for life members with a Super-savings accounts will automatically receive Death and TPD Assist cover.

Automatic Death cover to age 70.

Automatic TPD Assist cover to age 67.

If eligible you can apply for White Collar Death and TPD Assist cover that provides 50% more cover at no additional cost.

On joining you can apply for an additional 50% Death and TPD Assist cover.

Competitive premiums, usually lower than cover you could organise yourself.

If you're diagnosed with a terminal illness and your life expectancy is less than two years you may be eligible for payment of your Death cover.

Premiums deducted from your super, so they have no impact on your take-home pay.

You may also have the added advantage of insurance premiums offsetting your 15% contributions tax liability.

Eligibility for Death and TPD Assist cover

You don't have to jump through hoops to find out if you're eligible for this insurance.

You will be eligible for default Death and TPD Assist cover if:

you are age 15 to 69 (TPD Assist cover is not available from age 67), and

you are ‘employed’ (not a self-employed Person) and we receive a superannuation guarantee (SG) contribution for you.

If we receive your first SG contribution within 120 days from the date you joined your employer, your Death and TPD Assist cover starts from the date you joined your employer, and you will be subject to Limited Cover (covered for new events only) until you've been at work for 30 consecutive days.

If we receive your first SG contribution outside 120 days from the date you joined your employer, your Death and TPD Assist cover starts from date of receipt of your first SG contribution, and you will be subject to Limited Cover (covered for new events only) for 24 months and until you've been at work for 30 consecutive days after the end of the 24 month period.

How much will cover cost per week?

The cost of the insurance will depend on your age, gender, level of cover and whether you are in a White Collar occupation.

All premiums will be automatically deducted from your Super savings account and so have no impact on your take-home pay.
